Arbeids- og undervisningsformer

The course is organised as a combination of lectures, practical exercises, workshops, self-study and supervision. Teaching in plenary sessions, group and individual work/assignments.

Arbeidskrav

3 individual assignments related to development of XR applications

Vurdering
  • 2 practical group-based App-A-Week project, where both Artist and Programmer works together (when possible), which counts for 60% of the final grade. Oral presentation will be held to determine the final grade of this examination.
  • 4-hour individual practical exam which counts for 40% of the final grade

To pass the course, both examinations must be passed.

All group members share responsibility for the full content of the assignment/product/performance from the group-projects.

Alphabetical grades are used, on a scale from A to F, with E as the lowest passing grade.
